Part one"Well if it isn't my rebel without a cause best friend," Maria grinned as Michael walked towards her with his usual frown.
"Well if it isn't dizzy Deluca!" Michael smirked
"That hurts Michael really that hurts!" Maria said covering her heart with her hand
"So you can give it out but you can't take it Princess?" Michael asked as he sat down next to her
"Aren't you going to introduce me?" Maria asked as she gestured towards the brown haired guy that had sat down with Michael
"Oh yeah, Kyle, Maria, Maria, Kyle!" Michael said casually
"Its nice to meet you Kyle!" Maria said flashing him a 100-watt smile and offering him her hand
"Like wise. I have heard so much about, all good!" Kyle said grinning as he shook her hand
"That's funny I haven't heard a word about you. Care to explain Michael?" Maria asked
"Huh?" Michael asked because he hadn't really been paying attention to what was being said instead he had been trying to place what was different with Maria. She looked different and he didn't know why.
"How come you never told me you had a friend called Kyle?" Maria pouted childishly
"Because you never asked!" Michael stated simply
"So?" Maria asked and smiled at Kyle. She wondered why Michael had kept this fine piece of male meat secret from her, its not as if she would bite or anything or well she wouldn't bite hard.
"So?" Michael repeated
"You are so hopeless and before you ask because I know you are dying to know. Its my hair!" Maria said rolling her green eyes
"What?"
Maria sighed sometimes her best friend could be so clueless that it wasn't even funny.
"My hair yesterday it was blonde and today it's brown!" Maria said running a hand through her newly done brown curls
"I knew that!" Michael lied
"Sure you did!" Maria said not believing a word that came out of his mouth
"It looks great, really um does stuff to your eyes or whatever" Michael said poorly causing Maria to roll her eyes again at how hopeless Michael was.
"Your hair really does look amazing but then again you look amazing full stop!" Kyle said with a flirty grin causing Maria to blush and smile shyly
"Thanks but I suspect you say that to all the girls!" Maria said smiling across the table at him
"I only speak the truth and not all girls look as good as you!" Kyle said bluntly a huge grin on his face as he flirted with the hot brunette
"I don't know about that but I guess you're not to bad yourself." Maria said flashing him her best
Michael looked in disbelief between his friends. Were they flirting?
"Do you work out?" Maria asked laughing softly as she used the corny chat up line.
"You know I do as a matter of fact. How could you tell?" Kyle asked leaning across the table and looking deep into her green eyes.
Maria licked her lips, enjoying the playful flirting with Kyle. She could tell that she was going to become good friends with him maybe even more if she was lucky because there was no way Kyle would have to ask her twice if he happened to ask her out or anything
"You look so strong!" Maria said with a teasing note in her voice
Kyle laughed, Michael hadn't told him how adorable Maria was or how hot she was. He couldn't believe Michael had been holding out on him no doubt wanting to keep Maria all to himself.
"Okay will you two give it a break!" Michael asked glaring at the pair, which caused them to giggle
"We were just mucking around Michael. Why'd you always got to ruin all my fun?" Maria asked with a pout
"Yeah Michael! Why'd you got to ruin our fun?" Kyle asked in the same tone of voice Maria had used
"Shut up!" Michael ordered rolling his eyes suddenly he wished that he hadn't introduced Kyle and Maria, he could just tell that they were going to be trouble together
"Rude much?" Maria asked enjoying winding Michael up
"Yeah got a problem with that?" Michael asked with a glare
"Yeah I have!" Maria said with a nod
"What you going to do about it Deluca?"
"Do you really want to found out?" Maria asked given him her best threatening look
"You don't scare me!" Michael smirked
"Oh yeah is that a fact Guerin?" Maria asked raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow
"Yeah that's a fact Deluca!" Michael stated leaning back into the booth
"You sure about that?" Maria asked giving him one last chance to back down
"Let me see…I am sure that I am in no way scared of you…yep I am sure!"
"Okay then you asked for it. So Kyle has Michael ever told you about that time in 9th grade when he…" Michael covered Maria's mouth with his hand before any more words could get out
"Hey Michael I want to hear the story!" Kyle said
"No you don't believe me you don't!" Michael said keeping his hand firmly placed over Maria's mouth
"Maria you promise not to tell that story and I will let you live, tell that story and I have a couple of my own I could share with Kyle!" Michael said and Maria looked at him in disbelief, he was bluffing!
"Okay you don't believe me, fine Kyle how would like to hear some interesting stories about Maria here? You know I think I even have a few pictures to go with the stories as well!" Michael grinning at Kyle as Maria's eyes when wide, she shook her head violently causing her curls to fly wildly and hit against Michael's arms
"I have an idea why don't you just both just tell me the stories?" Kyle said
"Nope, not going to happen!" Maria stated
"Come on you can't be scared of Guerin!" Kyle said
"Please I have hundreds of embarrassing stories and pictures of Maria there is no way she going to tell you anything!" Michael said with a smug grin
"Just to add to that I have hundreds of embarrassing stories and pictures of Michael as well I mean I have known him since we were little kids and then there's the fact that we share a apartment!" Maria said
"You know it's kinda a shame to let all those stories go to waste," said Kyle who was dying with need to know what embarrassing things the pair of them had done while growing up together
"Not going to happen Kyle so just drop it already, the stories are going with me to the grave and there is nothing you cans ay or do that will make me tell you anything!"
"Maria?" Kyle asked hopefully
"Sorry Kyle but I am in complete agreement with Michael!" Maria said as she stood up and began to gather her things
"I got to go, will you be home for dinner?" Maria asked Michael
"Yep"
"Okay well I see you tonight then!" Maria said kissing her best friend's cheek
"Kyle it was nice meeting you!" Maria said flashing Kyle another on of her 100 watt smiles
"What aren't you going to kiss me too?" Kyle asked pretending to be outraged
"Maybe next time!" Maria said laughing and both of the guys couldn't help but think that it was most beautiful thing they had ever heard
"Promise?" Kyle asked with a lopsided smile
"Aren't you going to be late?" Michael asked Maria before she could reply to Kyle
"Yeah I better get going. Bye!" Maria said before rushing away from the table
"Wow she is great!" Kyle stated watching after her
"Yeah she is."
"So want to share some of those stories now?" Kyle asked causing Michael to roll his eyes, sometimes Kyle was like a dog with a bone.
"I take that has a no then!" Kyle said
"I got to get back to work" Michael said getting up
"You know I promise I will never tell Maria that you told me!" Kyle said following Michael
"Still not going to tell you!"
"Please?"
"Nope" Michael said
Kyle sighed when he realized that he was getting anywhere.
Oh well he had all day until work finished to get it out of him and while he was at it he could try and get Maria's cell number.
